Zahra's stuck between splitting parents. That's bad enough, but her Pakistani grandparents have arrived for an extended stay and are driving her crazy as they turn her mom into some sort of squishy religious stranger. To add insult to injury, she's been sentenced to group therapy because her estranged parents can't communicate with her and think that therapy will fix, by proxy, the mess they created and can't deal with.
The group is a mix of boys and girls, all of whom have unstable and/or divorcing parents.
There's cynicism aplenty and at first, very little mutual support. When Zahra, Kali and Syd all realize they've been dating the same guy, they suddenly have a target to focus all their anger and frustration. Eric, aka Rico, aka Rick loves his fancy rebuilt car, so the girls hatch a plot to trash and befoul Miss Daisy as he calls his ride. Their scheme is not only well done, but the description as they complete it is funny as heck.
Word gets around and it isn't long before the three girls realize there's plenty of money to be made exacting revenge for other kids, but why stop there. It doesn't take long for them to start taking on spying assignments for other teens who suspect their significant other is cheating on them. It's just a skip and a hop from this to facilitating breakups and finding the perfect match for teens floundering in the dating pool.
Too bad Zahra can't find her own hottie, even though a perfect match is right under her nose. Toss in more and more stress from her grandparents, worry over what's happening to her younger sister, some jobs that go too well and a few that go bad, plus a dog in desperate need of a pacemaker and you have one great read. Teens who like a smart, sassy and funny romance will eat this book up in a couple sessions. It's definitely one to add to any library that likes to provide teens with good reading material.… (altro)
